LinkLinksOpinion Washington Post Editorial Board: How D.C. targets high-risk individuals to prevent violence By Editor On May 2, 2022 Last updated May 2, 2022 64 Share The National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform last year took a look at the District’s efforts to combat violent crime and offered a scathing assessment. “DC is resource rich and coordination poor,” the nonprofit wrote, quoting a youth organizer. The report faulted the District for programs that overlapped, were not evaluated for effectiveness and did not reach those who are in the greatest need and who present the highest risk. Officials, to their credit, seem to have taken the criticism to heart and have decided to partner with the group that produced the report on an innovative approach to violence prevention. 64 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
